Danfoss

Facility Optimization and Energy Management

Project Summary

Project

With more than 50,000 retail food installations worldwide, Denmark-based Danfoss is a leading developer of integrated control solutions for supermarket refrigeration systems. The company’s customers are challenged to keep these systems running 24/7 without asset failure, unplanned downtime, or escalating energy costs. Danfoss introduced its Smart Store Solution to allow customers to remotely monitor and control operations at over 5,000 locations.

Solution

Danfoss implemented AssetWise as part of its solution to provide predictive operational analytics for unprecedented visibility into asset performance. AssetWise captures data from sensors on compressors, humidifiers, heat exchangers, condensing units, energy meters, and other store assets, then displays the data across dashboards for all customer installations. Users monitor temperatures, alarms, energy spikes, and other indicators where performance could be improved.

AssetWise Operational Analytics provides real-time data for proactive operations and maintenance. Instead of reacting to incidents such as false alarms, users can identify which alarms need attention and reduce maintenance callouts. Real-time temperature reporting helps ensure refrigeration units operate within set parameters, saving energy without compromising food safety. The analytics also help optimize energy use through prescriptive load shedding, so energy can be put back into the grid for financial gain.

SKA South Africa leverages AssetWise to build the world’s largest and most sensitive radio telescope, centralizing asset information from all disciplines and empowering teams to make timely and informed decisions.
